You're welcome 😊

You're right! Let me add that.

Unfortunately most are rumors.

YOUKU
Yesterday, Youku aired The Guardians.
On September 28th "Justice is Mine" will air -it is listed as a Hong Kong drama though-
Afterwards there are rumors for Love in the Clouds (October 11th) and Blood River (end of October-beginning of November) -> There was pre-broadcast investment for both so it's not unlikely especially for Blood River

WETV
Hilarious Family Season 2 premiered a couple of days ago on WeTV.
Edit: Yummy Yummy Yummy is rumoured to air in early October (October 7th)

MANGO TV
Shui Long Ying (Whispers of Fate) is rumored to air at the end of October (October 28th). Also not unlikely.

iQIYI
When it comes to iQiyi, Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Sword and Beloved is rumored to also premier at the end of October (October 26th)
Fated Hearts was also rumoured to air soon enough but nothing specific.

I'll never move on

I get you, but those people will use anything anyways, cause like you said they are looking for an excuse. They can even make up that excuse themselves if no one else does.

Like I said I won't mention that drama again, since I don't think it is necessary.

I don't think us regular users should not even make regular comments though, because a bunch of people may stalk MDL pages and screenshot comments that say nothing bad to hate on a person for no reason at all.

And it is even a more ridiculous for international fans especially to say "CY's fan are trying to ride on ... popularity", because Cdramas are not even that popular outside China (which is probably the main reason they don't sell their shelved dramas outside China, cause they'd make no money).

I miss this so much 😭😭😭

Like all social media platforms, MDL also has many toxic people (which is natural especially since the platform is growing and more and more people are getting into dramas).

But there are also some great people around so don't lose hope.
Comment sections can truly turn to battlefields though, which is why I ended up thinking that the block button is my friend. There is no point to try to reason with toxic fans (been there, done that, same result always).

I get you. I was more into Kdramas and Jdramas a few years ago and even though there were still some toxic fans (mostly on Kdramas) I realized that when a series is more popular, usually there will be some bad apples on the comment sections. But surely I've encountered the worse in Cdramas now that I'm more active in their comment sections.
People truly feel offended easily, so it's better not to interact if they start attacking.

😊

I agree in general. However, I believe that the toxicity of fandoms is the core problem, since many times international viewers -and I've talked to plenty- can be part of those toxic fandoms.

I think it is important to seperate the person/professional and their work from their fandom.
It's like I'm saying that I will stop listening to Ariana Grande for example, cause I hate her fans. Or I will stop listening to her cause her fans hate Shakira that I like as an artist.
In other words, sometimes people end up hating a person, cause they hate their fandom. And that's unfortunate, cause the person is just a professional and most of the times has done nothing wrong.

And honestly, it's good to understand that most famous actors are not alone. They have entire crews behind them that deal with all kinds of matters and I am sure that most of them won't really care about anything a rival fandom may do. Even in extreme cases like defamation, invasion of privacy, their management will "chase after" specific people.
It's like a person that is a Fan of actor-A attacks actor-B and the management decides to press charges on actor-A and not on his Fan that did the attack. That's how toxicity works.

I believe the most important part is for all of us to understand that these people are celebrities, they make tons of money and they don't even know we exist and most importantly we don't and can't know them personally, so there is no reason to fight for them.

It's okay to be part of a fandom. It is completely fine loving an actor/actress. It's great tofollow the career path of a person you admire and support them and defend them in some cases. But it is not okay to hate other professionals, sabotage them and make hateful comments towards them, just because their fandom acted in a specific way. They are people too and yeah they may not pay that much attention to people, but there have been plenty of cases where hate lead to terrible consequences for the people that just tried to do their job.

Unfortunately, many fans feel like celebrities are parts of "themselves" and any hate towards that celebrity feels like a personal attack.
That's why many times if for example User A insults User B, User B may not insult User A, but the celebrity User A admires and that will lead to an undending hate domino.

That got thesis-long. Sorry about that, just needed to get it out of my system.

Thanks for the update!

I hope it's as good as S1!

Most probably.
Unfortunately republican dramas have the hardest time getting a license, but it will get it sooner or later and if we get the distribution license it will probably not take much time to air.

At least, it seems that Take me Where the Clouds Rise will air soon enough and a few months ago it was considered shelved. I'm not that into the trailer, but hopefully plot delivers.

I get what you mean.
I truly feel they will air Love in the Clouds and Blood River the next couple of months at least. About postponment, I feel that at least for LITC it's natural since they have national holiday until October 7th in China so they can't air anything.

At the same time though, since BN is not really highly anticipated they may release it along with another drama or something. I hope we get to see it no matter the case 🤞

That's unfortunate...
What is the schedule?

Yeap. Not a rumour anymore! They will have some type of announcement on the iQiyi conference that's on the 25th.
FINALLY!

First of all, thank you for the warning.

I'll be honest with you like how you were with me. I am not sure what happened, but I am a regular drama watcher and I tend to just compare series for what they are. A piece of "media" that is made to entertain us or teach us something in one way or another.

I don't know what has happened in this case, and I hope this doesn't sound offensice, but if it is fandom based I honestly don't care. Unless the actors are criminally liable for something, I don't really see a reason to not mention something or to hate something just to not make people angry.

Legend of Zang Hai was a really good series and The Vendetta of An also seems to be a very good series. Both actors are talented and well respected in China and they are both quite famous.
If actors themselves don't want to kill each other irl, I don't see a reason why the sheer mention of another drama would cause a fight or bring back bad memories.
Even if they don't like each other, or if one of them acts bad for whatever reason, I think that as viewers, at least me that is a regular viewer and don't follow actors that much, should only judge them for their work which is acting. After all no matter how much we like someone and what they may mean to us, they don't know us, we are just individuals and they have millions of fans.

Again, I hope this doesn't sound offensive and I don't really plan to mention XZ's drama again cause there is no reason to. It was just an answer to the comment above that I found fitting taking into consideration what they wrote and judging from the trailer. If you feel offended, if this brings you angry or sad memories from the past, or makes you feel uncomfortable, feel free to block me (and of course that goes to every person that may read this).

I'm sorry but I don't see a reason why not. I just said it has similar vibes judging from the trailer which ia true. Both dramas have dark atmospheres, are male centric and look like dark revenge dramas.

"Soon" I say as they drag me away

Best dramas always air during exams, so I wouldn't be that optimistic 😂

I think the holiday is from October 1st to October 7th. I believe they don't air any idol dramas during that period. That's probably the reason why this one is rumoured to air on October 8th, after the 7 day break period has been completed.

I'm not sure about the autumn festival. However, this year the mid-autumn festival will take place during the seven days of the national holiday (October 6th I think), so I don't see any dramas airing then (at least dramas that are not republican or "pro-China"),
